They have been picked for comparison or illustration purposes only. No security presented within is either offered for sale or purchase. DoubleLine reserves the right to change its investment perspective and outlook without notice as market conditions dictate or as additional information becomes available and assumes no duty to update the
recipients of this presentation.
Important Information Regarding Risk Factors
Investment strategies may not achieve the desired results due to implementation lag, other timing factors, portfolio management decision-making,
economic or market conditions or other unanticipated factors. The views and forecasts expressed in this material are as of the date indicated, are subject to change without notice, may not come to pass and do not represent a recommendation or offer of any particular security, strategy, or investment. All Investments involve risks. Please request a copy of DoubleLines Form ADV 2A to review the material risks involved in DoubleLines strategies. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Important Information Regarding DoubleLine
In preparing the client reports (and in managing the portfolios), DoubleLine and its vendors price separate account portfolio securities using various

Important Information Regarding DoubleLines Investment Style
DoubleLine seeks to maximize investment results consistent with our interpretation of client guidelines and investment mandate. While DoubleLine
seeks to maximize returns for our clients consistent with guidelines, DoubleLine cannot guarantee that DoubleLine will outperform a client's specified
benchmark or the market or that DoubleLines risk management techniques will successfully mitigate losses. Additionally, the nature of portfolio diversification implies that certain holdings and sectors in a client's portfolio may be rising in price while others are falling; or, that some issues and sectors are outperforming while others are underperforming. Such out or underperformance can be the result of many factors, such as but not limited to
duration/interest rate exposure, yield curve exposure, bond sector exposure, or news or rumors specific to a single name.
DoubleLine is an active manager and will adjust the composition of clients portfolios consistent with our investment teams judgment concerning market conditions and any particular sector or security. The construction of DoubleLine portfolios may differ substantially from the construction of any of a
variety of bond market indices. As such, a DoubleLine portfolio has the potential to underperform or outperform a bond market index. Since markets
can remain inefficiently priced for long periods, DoubleLines performance is properly assessed over a full multi-year market cycle.
Important Information Regarding Client Responsibilities
Clients are requested to carefully review all portfolio holdings and strategies, including by comparing the custodial statement to any statements received from DoubleLine. Clients should promptly inform DoubleLine of any potential or perceived policy or guideline inconsistencies. In particular,
DoubleLine understands that guideline enabling language is subject to interpretation and DoubleLine strongly encourages clients to express any contrasting interpretation as soon as practical. Clients are also requested to notify DoubleLine of any updates to Clients organization, such as (but not
limited to) adding affiliates (including broker dealer affiliates), issuing additional securities, name changes, mergers or other alterations to Clients legal
structure.
The views expressed here are those of the individual investment analyst and do not represent the views of DoubleLine, any other individual investment analyst, portfolio manager, or other investment professional at DoubleLine.
